Dreams. Dreams are a very unique thing in which they can happen while you sleep or in your everyday life. Some might dream of becoming a doctor, others president. Then there is the dreaming in the sense that your asleep and your subconscious takes over. I chose this picture of Starry Night, because it reminds me of a dream world, in which anything is possible.
An example of dreams in the story would be the dream of Mr. Mayo killing himself, and sending her into a panic attack.
An everyday example in the story is Tillie's dream to succeed and get away from her overbearing hateful mother.
